2024: Index T

 Taizan Maezumi

"We do not see that our life right here, right now, is nirvana.  Maybe we think that nirvana is a place where there are no problems, no more delusions.  Maybe we think nirvana is something very beautiful, something unattainable.  We always think nirvana is something very different from our own life."


Tarrant, John

"If we forgive life for not being what we told it to be, or expected, or wished, or longed for it to be, we forgive ourselves for not being what we might have been also.  And then we can be what we are, which is boundless."


Thich Nhat Hanh

"Enlightenment is when a wave realizes it is the ocean."


"We spend a lot of time looking for happines when the world right around us is full of wonder.  To be alive and walk on the Earth is a miracle, and yet most of us are running as if there were some better place to get to."  (08/31/2023)


"You may wonder if the most wonderful moments of your life are already behind you.  Or you may think the happiest moment of your life is still to come.  But this is the moment we have been waiting for."  (03/21/2023)


Thoreau, Henry David

"In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here.  God himself culminates in the present moment, and will never be more divine in the lapse of all the ages."


"It's not what you look at that matters.  It's what you see."


"My life has been the poem I would have writ,

But I could not both live and utter it."


Tolle, Eckhart

"Awareness is the greatest agent for change."  (09/03/2023) 

"What a caterpillar calls the end of the world, we call a butterfly."  (10/15/2023)
